Do You See What I See?

Footballers acknowledge disability, Satan arrives at the Iowa Capitol, and biblical critical theory makes its mark.

This week on The Bulletin, hosts Mike Cosper, Nicole Martin, and editor in chief Russell Moore talk about inclusion and Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf and his American Sign Language celebrations in the end zone. Lively conversation continues as the hosts discuss culture war outrage and the arrival of a satanic display in the Iowa state capitol. Special guest author Christopher Watkin wraps up the episode to talk about his CT Book Award–winning Biblical Critical Theory.

Joining us this week:

Christopher Watkin (PhD, University of Cambridge) is senior lecturer in French studies at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. He is a scholar with an international reputation in the area of modern and contemporary European thought, atheism, and the relationship between the Bible and philosophy.
